Perception Expression 11

A Lightweight High Performance Short Touring Kayak

With the Perception Expression 11, the designers took all that's great about the longer 14 and 15 foot touring kayaks in the Expression range and shrunk all that down to make an amazing short, stable and highly enjoyable little kayak.

Crossing the line between recreational and touring kayak the Expression 11 features a sleek, yet stable slight v-shaped hull that is highly manoeuvrable, great in a straight line and is responsive to putting on edge. The Expression 11 also still has all the features of a full-on touring kayak for those that want to cover longer distances carrying some kit as well.

The smooth and predictable Expression 11 responds quickly and positively to the lightest touch, and the TruTrack skeg system will ensure that you keep heading the way you want even in a strong breeze or current. The roomy cockpit features a comfortable Zone seat with adjustable leg lifter, thigh braces and pedal footrests. In the standard DLX outfitting there is also a very nice and supportive high and adjustable backrest. The Expression 11 also has fore and aft deck lines and bungees combined with a large storage hatch to the rear with internal bulkhead for keeping your kit dry.

The Perception Expression 11 is designed to be used on a variety of different waterways from lakes and canals to rivers and even estuaries. Ultimately, this nifty little kayak is a fantastic choice for anyone wanting a day touring kayak with bags of potential to go short or longer distances in comfort but without grappling with a long and heavy boat. It ticks so many boxes, it's small wonder that the Expression 11 is out best selling short touring kayak.
